What species are you gunning for?
live or death traps
I will be trapping coon, muskrat, and mink in central michigan along a stream.
This is much too complex to cover in a few notes in this format! Check with your local DNR office or conservation warden - they should know if any of the local trappers organizations offer classes. I can not over state the benefits both to you and the resource of taking these classes. My personal opinion is that these classes should be as mandatory as hunter safety is for new hunters.
That being said, be sure that you do not have exposed baits along streams as you may catch raptors and other non-target species. There are a lot of different sets based on the conditions and the traps you are using. If you can not attend a class, then at least check at the library - there are many good references available.
